Hello everyone and welcome back to Scary Interesting.

In this video, we're going to go over two disappearances that simply don't make sense.

0:07.0

These are the types of stories that will make your head hurt because they're just so strange.

One was even caught on video, but despite this, it's still a complete mystery to this day,

and the video itself is just extremely weird.

You'll see what I mean, and as always, viewer discretion is advised. Lauren Ann Ron was born in Manchester, New Hampshire on April 3, 1966.

0:38.3

We don't know much about her childhood, but her parents divorced when she was still an infant.

0:42.3

Lorraine also didn't have much contact with her father growing up, and she and her mother, Judith, moved to Miami, Florida when she was just four years old,

because after the divorce, her mother wanted a fresh start.

0:51.3

Things unfortunately didn't work out like she planned and she and Lorraine

went on it moving back to Manchester in 1976. By four years later in 1980, they lived on a third

floor apartment and Lorraine attended junior high a few blocks away. And despite the somewhat

inconsistent home life, what was constant throughout Lorraine's life was that she was a dreamer

and a free spirit and she absolutely loved singing and dancing.

1:11.6

She often even told her closest friends that she wanted to run away and make it big as an actress and performer.

1:16.6

She was also close to her mother too, but like many people her age, unbeknownst to her mother, Lauren began drinking and smoking while she was still in junior high.

1:24.6

By the spring of 1980, her mother Judith was dating a professional tennis player and as she often did, she planned to accompany him to an out-of-town match over the weekend on Saturday, April 26. Lorraine usually went with her mother when she traveled with her boyfriend, but that weekend she was on spring break, and she begged her mother to let her stay in the apartment by herself. Judith hemmed and hot about this, but eventually agreed.

After all, it was only a few weeks before Lauren's 14th birthday, and she planned on getting back to Manchester early on the morning of Sunday, April 27th. It would just be one night alone. After her mother left, Lauren spent most of the day in the apartment doing chores, watching TV, and talking the phone with her friends. Several family members dropped by to check on her, and then that afternoon she walked to a nearby liquor store to stock shelves. Lauren didn't actually work there, but one of her friends said she occasionally did odd jobs around the store in exchange for free drinks. And in fact, she had a bottle of wine and a six pack of beer when she got back to the apartment later that afternoon. Shortly thereafter, she called a male friend and a female friend and asked if they want to drink, hang out, and listen to music at the apartment. They were reluctant at first, but they said they'd be right over when Lorene told them her mother was out of town and that they'd have the place to themselves. The three friends then spent the next several hours talking and listening to music, nothing really out of the ordinary. At about 12.30 a.m., they heard loud voices in the hallway.

2:18.1

They didn't know exactly who it was, but it seemed they all panicked and thought it was her mom coming home early. It seems that having a boy over late at night might get them in trouble and her male friend either panicked and left out the back door or Lurine told him to leave. Whatever the case, the boy also apparently heard the door locked behind him. Here's where things start to get weird. As it turns out, it wasn't Judith and her boyfriend in the hallway after all, but either way, Lorraine's male friend was long gone by the time she realized it was a false alarm. Judith and her boyfriend would end up showing up about 45 minutes later, but when they arrived, something was off. When they got there, the first thing they noticed was that the hallways on all three floors were totally dark. They initially thought the power was out, but after taking a closer look, they realized that someone had intentionally unscrewed all of the light bulbs. This was odd, but not necessarily alarming just yet. They initially suspected that it was some sort of prank or something, but then when they got to the apartment they were surprised to find that the front door was unlocked. Judith's boyfriend then immediately went to the back of the apartment while she walked to Lauren's bedroom. At that point, she just wanted to make sure her daughter was okay and maybe to admonish her for being so careless. From the doorway she she saw a dark figure sleeping in her bed. Then moments later, her boyfriend walked down the hallway and told her that the back door was open. By then, Judith was more confused and a little annoyed about the unscrewed light bulbs and the open and unlocked doors. So to get to the bottom of it, she went into Lauren's bedroom to ask her what was going on.

3:57.5

At that moment, she realized that the room smelled like alcohol and that the young woman in Lauren's bed was actually her friend. The friend would then go on to say that she and Lauren fell asleep together there sometime between till 30 and 1 a.m. But for some reason, Lorraine took a pillow and blanket and went to sleep on the living room couch shortly after. This was obviously

4:14.3

even more alarming because Lorraine clearly wasn't on the couch or anywhere else in the apartment. There weren't any signs of a struggle or a break-in, and it didn't look like anything of value had been taken, but panicked slow to begin to creep into Judith. Lorraine's friend said that she was wearing jeans, a blue-plad blouse, and a light-colored v-neck sweater earlier in the evening, which were still missing, but oddly, Judith found her purse and her shoes next to the living room couch. Judith then got even more panicked and began repeatedly asking the girl what happened and who else was there that night. The friend eventually told her about the boy who'd been there, but other than that, she said she was too intoxicated to remember anything. By then, Judith was fully panicking. Her boyfriend did his best to calm her down and suggested that she started calling friends and family members to see if Lorraine was with any of them. She wasn't, so Judith and her boyfriend eventually got back into the car and drove around town to see if Lorraine had gone out for a walk or passed out somewhere, but again, they didn't find anything. So by 4 a.m., Judith flagged down a police officer and told him that Lorraine was missing.

Police officers began searching for Lorraine within the hour, and later that morning,
